IDF Allows Limited Hiker Access to Southern Training Areas During Jewish Holidays
During the High Holidays, the Israeli military will permit limited access for hikers to certain training grounds in southern Israel. The military is urging the public to avoid restricted areas, emphasizing that entering them poses a significant risk to hiker safety. Access to the designated permitted areas requires coordination three days in advance.
The IDF also issued a directive for hikers who encounter unexploded ordnance, ammunition, or any suspicious objects. They are instructed to maintain a safe distance and immediately report such findings to the Southern Command via phone at 08-9902926/8 or by SMS to 0529010563. The same contact numbers are provided for coordinating access.
